[QUOTE]Originally posted by Kendall: [QB] WOW! Thank you all for responding - what a great group! I didn't expect reponses that fast. I have to apologize I think I should have included more detail. Both itineraries are planned to put me in San Diego the day before we set sail. It's just that the route Amtrak's website 'automatically' planned (Sunset to Surfliner) barely gives two hours between trains so even with a one day cushion I'm worried if the Sunset is late and causes me to miss the Surfliner I won't be able to find alternative transport in time. Judy - We are sailing to Cabo San Lucas - and when I say "we" I mean me and a bunch of other people I met on a different forum [URL=http://www.bodyforlife-tracker.com;]www.bodyforlife-tracker.com;[/URL] It is a big 'group package' kind of deal so I'll just be joining whatever excursions are planned for the group. (I would be the one to miss the boat otherwise!) Smitty - OLT is the station abbreviation (on Amtrak's website) for Old Town San Diego. Old Town is where our group's pre-cruise hotel is located. Mr. Norman - What a great site (amtrak delays) I guess it says a lot that someone went to all the trouble to create a site like that! :) I queried for three weeks of history and looks like it was 2 hours late twice. HMMM. Yes - I've definitely priced out the sleeper for the longer leg of the journey - I want to socialize but I also need my rest - I don't want to be tired and cranky for the cruise. SunsetLtd. - Yikes! Thanks, that's good to know. gp35 - I can't afford to take the train from CIN to LAX (I checked it out and it would cost me right around $1000) so the next best thing is to get cheap airfare to a place I can afford to take it from. RussM - The pre-cruise hotel the group I'm meeting up with is in Old Town. If the Amtrak website says the train stops at OLT, is it possibly not accurate? Oooh, any advice regarding luggage? I have to bring enough for the train trip *and* the cruise (which is 4 days) - and well, I'm female. ;) so I'm wondering how much luggage is too much luggage for traveling by train? :D Thank you ALL for the great advice and information! This group is so knowledgeable and helpful, I hope that this is the first of many future interactions with you AND the rails! [/QB][/QUOTE]
